What To Expect In An Initial Physiotherapy Assessment

During your initial assessment with a Physiotherapist at Absolute Rehab Centre, your Physiotherapist will take a complete history of your health and lifestyle to understand your body. Once they have the background information, your physiotherapist will get into the specifics of your injury or condition. Some of the questions asked include:

When did the problem start?

What are the areas affected by the pain?

Is there anything that makes it better?

Is there anything that makes it worse?

Have you tried anything else to resolve the problem?

What does it limit you from doing?

What would you like to be able to do?

From the answers to these questions, they’ll have an idea of the Physiotherapy treatment plan they can provide you. As Physiotherapy is heavily dependent on the patient’s needs and expectations, they’ll also ask what the preferred outcome of physiotherapy is for you.

Making A Physiotherapy Treatment Plan

Our Waterloo Physiotherapists will take the time to develop a Physiotherapy treatment plan that is specific to your needs. Physiotherapy plans typically have patients coming in for regular Physiotherapy sessions at Absolute Rehab Centre in addition to Physiotherapy exercises to do at home (depending on the patient’s ability to do so). Some plans will also include methods for muscle relaxation. Each Physiotherapy plan is created uniquely for a patient’s needs. Your Physiotherapist will talk you through the Physiotherapy plan to ensure your understanding. A well informed patient is one that can help contribute to their recovery by following the plan and making it part of their lifestyle until their body is back in motion. Even after recovery, the tips learned through the Physiotherapy treatment plan may still be applicable in preventing further injuries or to maintain relief from a chronic condition.

o Over half way through the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics and we've already seen its share of victories, heart-break, controversy, injuries and strange therapy techniques. You may have noticed the colourful web-like tape many athletes are wearing over their muscles and joints. This is called Kinesiology Tape, Kinesio Tape or KT-Tape. The makers and proponents of this tape will vouch for its use in most if not all types of injuries. Kinesio Tape is a tape that stretches to over ~150% its resting length along the length of the tape but does not stretch across the tape. You may be wondering, 'Wow!

Many of you have probably heard the term "kinesiology" thrown around, whether it be in the sports or rehabilitation fields but you may be wondering what exactly it is and how you can benefit from this.
